Crazy Mountain Biking
If you don’t like the bike action you’ve gotta love the Linkin Park soundtrack. Gaz Top 360 Rad, isn’t that what they say…
Swapsies with 3Billion
House OF Cards
That Radiohead video, you know, the one shot on a ‘laaaaaaassssser’.
‘No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes’.

Only lazy and not as smart or as original…
Viral Video Chart
The Viral Video Chart is a site that basically collates info from YouTube and Google etc, plus loads and loads of blogs and social networky places to see which online videos people are talking about / viewing and posting the most. They count the number of times each video is linked and the number of times each video is embedded. From that they publish a list of the top 20 videos that generated the most buzz the previous day - which is a pretty good yardstick of what’s hot and what’s not on your interwebs.
The upshot of all that is that you can find meaningful stuff like this:
Control // DVD
Control is not a happy film (no surprises there). It is however a very well managed juxtaposition of Joy Division’s rapid rise and their lead singer’s swift demise; events that happened on the intimate stage of Ian Curtis’ personal life and in the larger arena of popular culture. Mr. Corbijn, to his credit, sticks to the former, rather than banging out yet another hollow biopic.
The overall tone and style is very intimate, while the enigma of Ian Curtis remains intact. It’s testament to the sombre elegance of Corbijn’s film, his expert direction (particularly in capturing Riley/Curtis on stage) and Sam Riley’s stunning portrayal, that this doesn’t detract from the films success. Control shows us Ian Curtis, but from a distance, which is probably about as close as anyone ever got.
Brilliant.
Hit And Red
Pop video from Ghislain Porter, directed by Thibaut Duverneix. Better in hi rez.
C**T Smasher

UPL8.tv
Channel surfing used to be on the telly, then it went to the interwebs, and now the acers at Poke NY have cleverly fused the two. UPL8.tv is addictive mindless channel surfing online.
Kinda like being in your safe house.

Night Hunger
This spoof trailer for pulp horror Night Hunger is an (unofficial) ad ploy for a finger-lickin’ chicken co.
Love it.
